title: Lymphangioma of the vagina.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Vaginal lymphangioma is an extremely rare lesion. Lymphangioma in other areas is usually asymptomatic, and bleeding is a common complication and presentation.
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe the identification of a vaginal lymphangioma in a 47-year-old woman and discuss the histopathology, diagnosis, and management, based on colposcopy and histology results.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Vaginal lymphangioma should be identified by histopathology to exclude other malignant tumours in the vagina and to plan appropriate therapy.
